Tracey Ullman will ‘never’ be a Dame after mocking the Duchess of Cornwall

OHMYGOSSIP — Tracey Ullman doesn’t think she will ever be a Dame after doing an impression of the Duchess of Cornwall. The 56-year-old actress put her acting skills to the test on Wednesday (02.11.16) when she did an impersonation of the 69-year-old royal – who married Prince Charles in 2005 – and believes she has now scuppered her chances of acquiring the title.

When asked by ‘Watch What Happens Live’ chat show host Andy Cohen if Camilla will get in touch with her, Tracey said: “No. I haven’t heard from them. She answers the phone to Charles ”Hello sexy, I’ve got no knickers on, are you coming over?’

“I’m never going to hear from them, I’m never going to be a Dame, I’m never going to get any of those things. Don’t worry about it.”

Meanwhile, the dark-haired star has revealed she cringes when she looks at old photographs of herself, and has described her former self as a “troll”.

In reaction to an old photograph of Tracey, which was shown on the screen, she said: “I look like a troll. I was a little troll then. My daughter says I look like a Furby.”

However, later in the programme a clip of Tracey in the 1984 film ‘Give My Regards to Broad Street’, in which she starred alongside former Beatles band member Sir Paul McCartney, and the screenwriter revealed she “couldn’t breathe” when she met the singer songwriter.

Speaking of the moment she set her sights on Paul on set, she said: “I was so excited I didn’t know what to do. I couldn’t breathe.”

Prince Harry’s week-long stay in Canada with new girlfriend Meghan Markle

OHMYGOSSIP — Prince Harry has allegedly spent the past week in Canada with new girlfriend Meghan Markle. The 32-year-old royal has reportedly been inseparable from the ‘Suits’ actress after he arrived in Toronto, Canada, on Thursday (27.10.16) to stay with his new flame at her home where they reportedly enjoyed quality time cooking for one another, according to Mail Online.

It has also been reported the pair attended a Halloween party at Soho House on Saturday (29.10.16), and have been enjoyed playing with Meghan’s rescue dogs Bogart and Guy.

The red-haired hunk is believed to still be in the American city with the brunette beauty after having no public engagements for another week until next Thursday (10.11.16).

However, Kensington Palace representatives have refused to comment on their romance. Meanwhile, Harry – who met Meghan in May – is reportedly “besotted” with the 35 year old.

Speaking previously about the romance, a source said: “He’s happier than he’s been for many years. “He’s in a very relaxed period of his life and Meghan has come along at the right time. They are taking each week as it comes and just enjoying each others company but it’s fair to say that they love seeing each other and there’s a definite chemistry between them.”

And Harry has already introduced Meghan to brother Prince William and sister-in-law Duchess Catherine, who approve of her. A source explained: “William and Kate really liked her and she fitted in straight away.”

Harry – who has dated Chelsy Davy and Cressida Bonas in the past – has previously spoken about his desire to settle down but knows it’s not easy because of the position he is in.

He said: “If or when I do find a girlfriend, I will do my utmost… to ensure that me and her can get to the point where we’re actually comfortable with each other before the massive invasion that is inevitably going to happen into her privacy.”

Prince Harry’s girlfriend Meghan Markle fails a test on British culture

OHMYGOSSIP — Prince Harry’s girlfriend Meghan Markle has failed a test on British culture. The flame-haired royal’s new flame underwent quiz about ‘Britishisms’ earlier this year, which saw her get four out of 15 questions correct, and the brunette beauty has admitted she was the “worst” person to have ever played the game.

During the show, which was aired earlier this year on Dave, the brunette beauty was able to correctly pinpoint three British ales but when asked what the British term for ‘sidewalk’ is she couldn’t answer despite visiting her 32-year-old beau and his father the Prince of Wales earlier this year at London’s Kensington Palace.

Speaking about the test, the ‘Suits’ actress said: “I think I lost. I think I was the worst at this game.”

Despite Meghan’s lack of British knowledge, it has been reported she is making Harry – who ended his relationship with his former girlfriend Cressida Bonas in 2014 after their two year romance – the happiest man he has been “for many years”.

A source told the Mail Online: “He’s happier than he’s been for many years. He’s in a very relaxed period of his life and Meghan has come along at the right time.”

Although Meghan has brightened up Harry’s life, her half-sister Samantha Grant has warned Harry against his new girlfriend because she cannot be trusted.
Samantha – who shares the same father, Thomas Markle, as Meghan – branded her sister a “shallow social climber” who always wanted to be a princess and is “narcissistic and selfish”.

Speaking previously the mother-of-three writer said: “The royal family would be appalled by what she’s done to her own family. The truth would kill her relationship with Prince Harry, he wouldn’t want to date her any more because it puts her in a bad public light. “I certainly don’t think Harry or his family would want to associate with her afterwards.”

Devoted father Prince Philip

OHMYGOSSIP — Prince Philip was a “brilliant father”, according to Matt Smith. The 95-year-old royal has four children – Princes Charles, Andrew and Edward and Princess Anne – with wife Queen Elizabeth and Matt says he has always been a devoted family man.

The 34-year-old actor portrays Philip in 20-part Netflix saga ‘The Crown’ says people will be surprised with how he comes across.

He said: “What’s interesting is the Prince Philip we now know and the prince Philip we perhaps knew then are two different men, which we see.

“We get to understand where they came from a bit more. I often play outsiders and he is very much the outsider. He was the voice of dissent in that family but he was also a brilliant father and well-respected in the Navy.”

The former ‘Dr Who’ star also insists viewers don’t have to be a fan of the royal family to enjoy his new series. He told HELLO! magazine: “The writing is respectful but not overly reverential. “It’s honest about the human traits of these people and we, as actors, have to interpret that as honestly and bravely as we can. It is hard when you are interpreting real people, but ultimately we grew to really understand them and even to love them.”

Prince Harry to marry Meghan?

OHMYGOSSIP — Prince Harry could get engaged to Meghan Markle.
The 32-year-old royal has been dating the ‘Suits’ actress for a few months after meeting in May and while it’s still early days, insiders believe marriage may be on the cards.
A source told People magazine: “That (engagement) is certainly a possibility. It is certainly one possible outcome. It’s pretty serious, so we will see.
“Harry is pretty serious about her and she is pretty serious about him.”
It was recently claimed that Harry inundated the 35-year-old beauty with text messages until she agreed to go on a date with him after they met at a charity bash, and they have since been on a number of romantic outings and saw each other twice last month.
One friend said: “They are the real deal. He definitely pursued her and besieged her with texts until she agreed to a date.
“They went out with a group of friends to Soho House in London in early July, followed by two dates by themselves where Harry swept her off her feet. By August it was a serious.”
The flame-haired prince is said to have fallen “head over heels” for the brunette star – who was previously married to film producer Trevor Engelson from 2011 to 2013 – and the feeling is said to be mutual.
The pal added to The Sun newspaper: “He is very full-on but she was going through quite a tough time with her previous boyfriend and she was very flattered.
“She couldn’t contain her excitement, but once she got back from London she became very secretive. It was then that it changed from them just ‘seeing each other’ to boyfriend and girlfriend.
“He’s head over heels and she feels the same.”

Prince William wants tech meeting

OHMYGOSSIP — Prince William wants help from Facebook and Apple to prevent cyberbullying.
The future king – who launched a task force earlier this year to stop online attacks – is keen to meet with the tech companies in California to get their support.
According to the Sunday Times newspaper, William is expected to request meetings with Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg and Apple’s Tim Cook, along with “several other tech companies,” to help the companies better confront cyber bullying.
The task force will be completed in May 2017 and recommendations will be given to the tech industry, which William reportedly wants to present to the companies.
A source added: “The task force has received lots of interest from the U.S. and the global leadership of these major companies who have expressed interest in being involved in the process. The next big push will be in the summer.”
William – who has two children, Prince George, three, and 18-month-old Princess Charlotte with wife Duchess Catherine – has reportedly already asked the task force to make the internet a safer place for children and “devise methods to make it easier for children and parents to get help if they experience online trolling”.
William was first inspired to launch the task force after becoming a father and he and Catherine have shown a lot of support against cyber bullying.

Duchess Catherine to not be Pippa's bridesmaid?

OHMYGOSSIP — Duchess Catherine might not be in sister Pippa’s wedding party – because she doesn’t want to upstage the bride.
Pippa Middleton is set to wed fiance James Matthews next May and her famous sibling was expected to be maid of honour.
However, a royal expert thinks Catherine – also known as Kate Middleton – may take a back seat in proceedings to make sure all eyes are on Pippa.
Veteran royals author Judy Wade told People magazine: “Kate would upstage her sister. It’s a tricky situation for Pippa. She would want her sister by her side, as who else would she trust to make things go well?
“But if your sister is a future Queen, she is going to upstage the bride and draw attention. Kate would want to be in the background as much as possible.”
Pippa was famously a bridesmaid for the duchess when she married Prince William in 2011 and almost stole the show with her fitted white dress.
But if Catherine isn’t in Pippa’s bridal party, she may be given another task to do, such as a reading, which the girls’ brother James performed at the royal wedding.
It is also expected that the duchess’ two children, Prince, George, three, and 18-month-old Princess Charlotte, will be page boy and flower girl respectively.
Earlier this week, it was revealed Pippa, 33, will tie the knot in front of 150 guests at her local church before a reception in her parents’ garden in nearby, Bucklebury, Berkshire.

Princess Diana's Panorama most watched factual programme

OHMYGOSSIP — Princess Diana’s ‘Panorama’ interview was the most watched factual programme of the past 80 years.
The late royal – who died in a Paris car crash in 1997 – famously spoke to Martin Bashir for the BBC One show in November 1995, and a staggering 22.8 million people tuned in.
During her interview, the princess spoke about her marriage to estranged husband Prince Charles, his affair with Camilla Parker Bowles – who is now the Duchess of Cornwall – and how she committed adultery with lover James Hewitt.
On Charles’ relationship with Camilla, Diana famously said: “There were three of us in this marriage, so it was a bit crowded.”
She also candidly spoke about her bulimia and trying to kill herself, her relationship with her two sons, Princes William and Harry, and how she didn’t think Charles would make a great king.
And while she told Martin she could no longer be the queen of the country, she hoped she would become “queen of people’s hearts”.
The royal family had no idea the interview was taking place and were said to be furious. It was later claimed that Diana regretted taking part.
Soon after the interview, Queen Elizabeth gave permission for Diana and Charles to divorce.
While it is one of the most watched and memorable pieces of British television, the top spot went to comedy ‘Only Fools and Horses’.
Just over 24 million people tuned in for the episode broadcast on December 29 1996, in which David Jason’s Del Boy finally got rich after auctioning an antique watch.
According to the Press Association, it is the biggest audience ever recorded for a single transmission of a TV programme in the UK.

Meghan Markle has been married before

OHMYGOSSIP — Prince Harry’s reported new girlfriend has been married before.
The 32-year-old royal is said to be dating ‘Suits’ actress Meghan Markle and it has now been revealed that she was previously wed to film producer Trevor Engelson.
The couple tied the knot in Jamaica in 2011 but split in 2014.
Although they are definitely separated, it is unclear whether they are officially divorced.
She was most recently linked to Canadian chef Cory Vitielloand was said to be dating him before she met Harry in May.
In 2013, the 35-year-old beauty admitted: “The best job a man could have would be a chef. They’d understand the long hours I work and the drive and ambition it takes to succeed.”
She also spoke about how much she loves how British men dress, saying: “I love how British guys dress for the cold. I’m from LA so I’m used to seeing people in sunglasses and flip-flops. There’s something so romantic about a man in a scarf and a knitted hat.”
Although Harry is fifth in line to the British throne, Meghan currently resides in Toronto, Canada, as that is where ‘Suits’ is filmed.
She is now thought to live with just her two rescue dogs Bogart and Guy.
In 2014, she was linked with golfer Rory McIlroy after he nominated the stunning brunette to take on the charity Ice Bucket Challenge.

Queen Elizabeth 'backs Andrew in Charles row'

OHMYGOSSIP — Queen Elizabeth has reportedly backed Prince Andrew in his row with Prince Charles about a streamlined monarchy.
It has been claimed Andrew had written to his mother to express his concerns that his daughters, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, were being phased out by Charles, who apparently believes only the top tier of the royal family should appear in public for official duties and celebrations.
And it seems as if the 90-year-old monarch agrees with him and thinks the girls should play a more important role.
A source told the Mail on Sunday newspaper: “The queen adores the girls and is keen for them to have some kind of a role.
“Charles’ vision for a streamlined family is all very well, but how can the royal family do everything it currently does with just five players?”
According to reports, Andrew wants Beatrice, 28, and 26-year-old Eugenie to be given state funding as well as official royal duties.
He also reportedly requested his daughters be given accommodation at Kensington Palace along with Prince William and Duchess Catherine and Prince Harry, rather than rented accommodation at St James’s Palace.
However, Charles – the heir to the British throne – is reportedly determined for a more intimate monarchy with only the most immediate members of the royal family getting royal status and financial support.
And it is causing tensions between them.
A source revealed: “The row between Andrew and Charles is not pleasant. It has been going on for many years and it all comes down to Andrew feeling that he and his family are being phased out.”
